Front Caliper Rebuild

[Redcallen]

Has anyone ever done one? I've been looking at some general how-to's and it doesnt look involved..just wanted to know if anyone has experience with it on our cars.
-Thanx

I'm having problems with the rear E-Break not releasing when I drop the handle. My rotor was glowing red and smokin' after one mile on the right rear.

The stealership wants $414.00 for the RR and $392.00 for the LR (center piston area only, no cage/frame)

Can somebody post the "how To" for front and rear calipers! This will get very useful as our Speeds get older.

Bump for info

It's actually pretty simple, CustomMSP rebuilt one from parts off a 626 caliper. Ask him what the details about it are.

All the parts stores should carry re-man calipers. Rebuilding them isn't hard but save some time and get one already done.

I agree. A reman is like $70 after the core fee. Plus you know it works and dont have to mess around with it.

Lets not forget the warranty either.

Sounds like the slider pins are long past due to be greased.

No, I already had it apart. All is good except the E- Brake lever with the big spring doesn't return to the home position. The drivers side is working good and there is no binding. I drive with the E-Brake so it has 100,000 miles of heavy use.
